Product details
Overview
MP5094GJ-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a dual-channel, integrated current-limiting e-fuse with independent 12V and 5V input paths, 50mΩ/30mΩ RDS(ON), fixed 4A/2.95A (Ch1) and 3A/2.18A (Ch2) trip/hold current limits, and fast 2μs output over-voltage clamp at 15V/6V - deployed in hot-swap power rails for SSDs and HDDs.
For engineers reviewing the MP5094GJ-P datasheet, MP5094GJ-P pinout, MP5094GJ-P application, or MP5094GJ-P equivalent, this device delivers verified dual-rail protection with soft-start control, hiccup-mode OCP, latch-off thermal shutdown, and transient tolerance up to 24V/100ms (Ch1) and 16V/100ms (Ch2).
Technical Context
The MP5094GJ-P implements two independent high-side current-limit switches with internal MOSFETs, each featuring dedicated UVLO (9.7V/4.4V), adjustable soft-start via external SS capacitors, and fast OVP comparators with 2μs response. It integrates no external sense resistor, relying on MOSFET RDS(ON)-based current sensing.
Protection logic includes primary current limiting (trip/hold), secondary 8A short-circuit cutoff (<1μs), hiccup-mode recovery (200ms off-time), and thermal shutdown at 155°C. EN pin enables global on/off control with 280kΩ internal pull-down.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range (Ch1) | 10.2V–14.5V continuous; supports 24V/100ms surge - enables robust 12V rail operation in live-insertion systems. |
| Input Voltage Range (Ch2) | 4.6V–5.5V continuous; supports 16V/100ms surge - ensures compatibility with standard 5V logic and storage interfaces. |
| RDS(ON) (Ch1/Ch2) | 50mΩ / 30mΩ at 25°C - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating under full load (≤0.8W per channel at 4A). |
| Quiescent Current | 110μA typical per channel (EN low) - enables low-power standby in always-on storage subsystems. |
| OVP Threshold (Ch1/Ch2) | 15.0V / 5.7V - clamps transients before downstream 12V/5V ICs exceed absolute maximum ratings. |
| Current Limit (Trip/Hold) | Ch1: 4A / 2.95A; Ch2: 3A / 2.18A - provides defined fault current ceiling and sustained hold current during overload. |
| Soft-Start Control | SS1/SS2 pins accept external capacitor (e.g., 68nF → ~10ms ramp) - prevents inrush-induced backplane droop during hot-swap. |
Pinout & Package
MP5094GJ-P is housed in a thermally enhanced TSOT23-8 package (3mm × 3mm, 0.65mm pitch), with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation and PCB-level thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCC1 | Channel 1 input supply | 12V rail input; requires local ceramic decoupling and wide trace for high-current integrity. |
| 2 SS1 | Channel 1 soft-start control | Connects to external capacitor to linearly ramp VOUT1 slew rate - sets inrush current profile. |
| 3 SS2 | Channel 2 soft-start control | Independent soft-start for 5V rail; enables staggered power-up of mixed-voltage subsystems. |
| 4 VCC2 | Channel 2 input supply | 5V rail input; decoupled separately to avoid cross-talk with Ch1 supply path. |
| 5 VOUT2 | Channel 2 output | Protected 5V output; clamped to ≤6V during over-voltage events - safeguards SATA/NVMe logic. |
| 6 GND | System ground reference | Common return for both channels; must be low-impedance and tied directly to thermal pad. |
| 7 EN | Global enable/disable control | Active-low digital input; float or pull-down to enable; pull-high to disable - supports system-level sequencing. |
| 8 VOUT1 | Channel 1 output | Protected 12V output; clamped to ≤15.5V - secures spindle motor drivers and analog circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent e-fuse channels | Separate 12V and 5V protection paths with dedicated UVLO, OVP, and current limit - eliminates need for discrete fuses or dual ICs. |
| Integrated OVP with 2μs response | Clamps VOUT1 to ≤15.5V and VOUT2 to ≤6.0V within 2μs - prevents damage to downstream 12V/5V ICs during ESD or load-dump events. |
| Hiccup-mode over-current recovery | Enters 200ms off-cycle after >150μs overload - maintains system visibility while preventing thermal runaway during sustained shorts. |
| Secondary 8A short-circuit cutoff | Triggers <1μs turn-off when current exceeds 8A - limits peak fault energy and preserves input rail stability during hard shorts. |
| Thermal shutdown with latch-off | Shuts down at 155°C junction temperature and remains latched until reset - avoids oscillation near thermal limit in enclosed enclosures. |
Applications
| Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Power Sequencing | Solid-State Drive (SSD) Hot-Swap Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Inserting an HDD into a powered-backplane server chassis where 12V spindle and 5V logic rails are live.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-rail current-limiting e-fuse applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS25942LARVYR | Single-channel, 2.7–24V input, adjustable current limit (0.5–5.2A), 1.2mΩ RDS(ON); no integrated OVP clamp. | Requires external OVP circuitry for 12V/5V rail protection; lacks dual independent channels. | Choose only if needing ultra-low RDS(ON) and external OVP is acceptable; not drop-in for MP5094GJ-P's dual-rail integration. |
| RTQ2132BGQW | Dual-channel, 2.5–18V input, adjustable current limit (0.6–5A), 25mΩ/20mΩ RDS(ON); OVP threshold fixed at 6.2V/16.5V. | Supports lower min-input (2.5V) but lacks 24V/100ms surge rating on 12V channel; no hiccup-mode OCP. | Select when wider input range is critical and thermal recovery behavior can be managed externally; verify OVP timing against 2μs requirement. |
Compared with TPS25942LARVYR and RTQ2132BGQW, MP5094GJ-P uniquely combines dual-rail integration, guaranteed 24V/100ms surge tolerance, 2μs OVP response, and hiccup-mode recovery - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability hot-swap storage and industrial modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage transient for each channel?
Channel 1 (12V rail) withstands up to 24V for 100ms; Channel 2 (5V rail) withstands up to 16V for 100ms. These values are specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and validated per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up immunity testing - exceeding them risks permanent damage.
How is soft-start time calculated for MP5094GJ-P?
Soft-start time tSS (ms) = (CSS × VCLAMPx) / (5.5μA × VINx), where VCLAMP1 = 15V, VCLAMP2 = 5.7V, and VINx is the respective input voltage. For example, a 68nF capacitor yields ~10ms ramp on both channels.
Does MP5094GJ-P require external current-sense resistors?
No. The device uses internal MOSFET RDS(ON) for current sensing and does not require external sense resistors. This eliminates power loss, board area, and calibration overhead associated with shunt-based solutions.
What happens during a short-circuit event?
Upon short detection, MP5094GJ-P first enters constant-current hold mode (2.95A/2.18A). If the fault persists >150μs, it initiates hiccup mode (200ms off-time). A secondary 8A fast cutoff activates within <1μs to limit peak current and prevent input collapse.
Is the EN pin internally pulled down?
Yes. An internal 280kΩ resistor connects EN to GND, allowing the device to power up automatically when EN is left floating. Driving EN ≥1.4V disables both channels; driving EN ≤0.6V enables them.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior?
At 155°C junction temperature, MP5094GJ-P shuts down completely and latches off. It remains disabled until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140°C) and EN is cycled - preventing thermal oscillation in high-ambient environments.
